Which roo(s) should I keep??

[pmoore]

Sorry if this doesn't fall into the right category, but it seems fitting! I have (maybe) ten cockerals in my flock- I will be processing most of them but I'm not sure which one(s) I should keep for my ten ladies. There is an assortment, so I will list the breeds I have that are cockerals and based on that I'm curious which one(s) you would keep!
3 Easter eggers
1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
1 White Wyandotte
3 Black Sex Links
2 Single Comb Brown Leghorns

Wyandottes, what breeds are your ladies?

I keep them based on friendliness, quietness (depending on if it is a problem or not), and beauty. Although beauty isn't a huge thing to worry about, but if both are quiet and friendly, I'll choose the prettier one.

That's just how I would do it...But then again, I don't know what you want in a roo...


Edit to add: Also if you want/need more than one, make sure you have enough hens for each of them...

My ladies are 3 Black Sex Links, 1 White Wyandotte, 2 Red Sex Links, 1 that's white with fluffy feet (haven't figured her out yet) and 2 Brown Leghorns!

I'm interested in breeding eventually, but temperament is important because my kids like to interact with the chickens.

Based on the commoness of the BSL's and RSL's iw ouldnt do them in my opinion, i would do the white wyandottes

Or crossbreed the blue's and white's to get splash(?)
